Comparing the situation of the 1, 2.0, 2.2, 2.4, 2.6 versions, since starting 2.6 , the progress of the kernel, and also the situation of Linux as a whole and of its use changed very.

Thus, it's time for 2.8 or even 3.0 in order to mark this very improved quality and use of Linux since the start of the 2 and 2.6 versions. wl --- Professional hosting for everyone - http://www.host.ru -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
